Spyder 550 550A

If I was shown these photos and asked which 2 cars were the same, I know what I would choose. There is no question that there is a Wendler body on the 0043 frame

Andrew,

07 was reconfigured more than once since originally being a bucklewagen. And, much of that included 550 Wendler body parts, including the reconfig with 043 frame before her fatal race.

My point remains that Porsche called the car 07, there was no 0043 dataplate and the only 043 numbered item is the frame plate. 07 is on top of that.

Wendler body for sure. 07 for sure.

The car with the fellow backing out is 05 in Brazil.

The photo of Stuck reversing 550-05 has German plates (Porsche) - how can it be in Brazil?

[Steve Heinrichs]

It's not Stuck. It's Fasinello who bought 05 but did not pay for it. See story in earlier thread. We have all the relevant correspondence.

Quite the mystery, compelling arguments on both sides. Enjoying the discussion guys.

550A-0143 became the Fitti Porsche

Looks like the corkscrew at Laguna Seca.

I just found an old hard drive from about 5 years ago with over 2000 vintage spyder race images on - I never knew I had even collected them back then. It is very overwhelming to see so many and realising I have to archive them in some kind of logical order. I have started doing other images by race car number - a massive task...
